About this ebook
The secret of all cities is to be found in their streets and neighborhoods. This is especially true of Rome. What distinguishes this guidebook to Rome from so many others is that it explores neighborhoods instead of merely describing monuments. By taking the reader on walks through the streets around the Campo dei Fiori, the Piazza Noavona, the Jewish Ghetto, and Trastevere, and by paying close attention to architecture, local history and people, art, religion, archeology, and, of course, cuisine, Romewalks by Anya M. Shetterly offers a remarkably intimate and comprehensive look at the city and its history. Also included in this guidebook are maps of each of the four walks, photographs, a concise section of information and advice, a list of specially selected restaurants and shops, and an index.
